While so very different from her popular Original Sinners books, The Night Mark pulled me into thThe Night Mark is another winner from Tiffany Reisz. While so very different from her popular Original Sinners books, The Night Mark pulled me into the story just as quickly and kept me on the edge of my seat waiting to see what would happen next.

I will say that time travel books aren't always my cup of tea, but I felt like The Night Mark was well done. I really enjoyed the magic of the water around the lighthouse being the trigger for those who traveled between the present and the past. I also loved that individuals had to make things right in each time as the story progressed. While I liked the main characters in the story pretty well, my favorite character was Father Pat Cahill. He brought a lightness to the story that it needed as much of the storyline was a bit dark at times.

The Night Mark is a romance that is all about true love finding you regardless of where you are in your life. I loved that whether in 2015 or 1921, true love prevailed. While nowhere near as sexy as most books I've read by Ms. Reisz, the romance was clearly the center of this story.

Illegal Contact was the first book I'd read by Santino Hassell, and I loved it. I couldn't wait to read Down by Contact as soon as it hit my kindle.

AIllegal Contact was the first book I'd read by Santino Hassell, and I loved it. I couldn't wait to read Down by Contact as soon as it hit my kindle.

Adrián and Simeon have been at odds since Simeon left the New Jersey Predators team for the New York Barons. When all hell breaks loose between them at a preseason game, they are forced to work together on a joint community service project teaching football to a group of kids at a community center.

I have to admit right up front that I had a very hard time with Adrián and what he said through much of the book. He spewed so much hatred that I honestly had trouble getting into the book in the beginning. I really didn't see a way for Hassell to redeem Adrián at all. On the other hand, I absolutely adored Simeon and really wanted him to find a man to fall in love with and make him happy. I figured out pretty quickly Adrián was gay or at least bi and that was part of the reason he made such an ass of himself when it came to Simeon. It still took me over half of the book to start to like him.

I did love how well both men connected with the kids they were working with at the community center. Yes Simeon seemed to connect better with most of the kids, but Adrián started to really enjoy working with the kids and making connections the longer they worked with the kids. I think seeing Adrián with the kids is what helped start to turn my feeling around for him. Honestly his snarkiness never really goes away, but I quickly learned it was a bit of a defense mechanism for him.

While it did take me a bit longer to buy Adrián and Simeon as a couple, I will say the sex between them was smoking hot! I did love how they really couldn't keep their hands off each other. I also love that both Simeon and Adrián really wanted to protect the other from anything coming out about them before Adrián was ready. I will say I didn't agree with how Simeon tried to protect their secret, but got his reason for doing it at the time. I also loved seeing both men go big in their declaration for each other. OMG I think that was honestly when I fell in love with Adrián.

I absolutely loved Santino Hassell's voice and his in-your-face story telling in Down by Contact. While I only found Santino Hassell's books recently, I have to say he has become an auto-buy author for me rather quickly. I highly recommend his books.

From the moment we met Aiden and Layton in Scored, I knew I wanted them to find a way to be together. It didn't matter to me that Layton was engaged tFrom the moment we met Aiden and Layton in Scored, I knew I wanted them to find a way to be together. It didn't matter to me that Layton was engaged to someone else, I knew she and Aiden were perfect for each other and am so glad Ms. Valentine gave us their story.

I love when two characters have a history together and the fact that Aiden and Layton had known each other since she was 11 gave me all the feels. I love they had a friendship, as he is her older brother's best friend, first and an attraction that came later for them both. I loved how protective Aiden was of Layton and that he really did want to do right by her.

The chemistry between Aiden and Layton was freaking amazing! Like so smoking hot I needed to fan myself a few times. I have to say I absolutely loved that Aiden wanted to make sure Layton was truly ready before they moved to a physical relationship. I love when the hero is the first to fall in love, and the fact that Aiden had been in love with Layton for what seemed like forever pretty much made me swoon. Seriously, what is better than a big sexy football player falling first?

I didn't love how wishy-washy Layton was at times with her feelings. I understood she had pretty much just come off of a long term relationship, even though her husband left her during their honeymoon. They had been together since they were teens, so I got being scared to rush into anything too fast. I just hated the push and pull I sometimes felt with Aiden's feelings. I could feel how much he really cared and loved her and just wanted her to trust her instincts when it came to him. I got past it, but it did color me loving Layton as much in this book as I did in Scored.

Sidelined was a fabulous story. I'm equally excited for the fact that the sports series won't end with just 2 books and we will get more stories with these characters. I can't wait to see Kingston Price meet his match!

About That Kiss is the 5th book in the Heartbreaker Bay series from Jill Shalvis. Jill Shalvis is a go-to author for me when I want a fun, sexy, and eAbout That Kiss is the 5th book in the Heartbreaker Bay series from Jill Shalvis. Jill Shalvis is a go-to author for me when I want a fun, sexy, and even sweet story. About That Kiss was all of that and kept me pulled in from the very first page.

I have to say when I saw About That Kiss was going to be Kylie and Joe's book, I initially had some reservations about them as a couple. They just seemed so different from each other, which isn't a bad thing ever, but Joe has always seemed so standoffish unlike the other characters in the series. Like he didn't think he deserved to have happiness in his life. Both Joe and Kylie had rough starts, but Joe seemed to let his define his future where Kylie decided she could have anything she wanted despite her rough start. I felt like Kylie's attitude rubbed off a bit on Joe the more time they spent together.

I loved that when Kylie needed Joe's help, she demanded she be in on the investigation every step of the way. Kylie has taken care of herself for so long, it would have gone against everything in her character to sit back and let Joe do all the work. I also loved the more time they were together, the more time Joe wanted to be around Kylie. Yes they had amazing chemistry, but it was really more like Joe finally found someone who made him feel like he was safe.

I have to say I loved that both Kylie and Joe seemed so drawn to one another, and once they finally gave into their mutual attraction, I felt like they really started moving more toward being a couple. There was still the bit of hesitancy you would expect for Joe, who still doesn't believe he deserves happiness, but he also started to listen to valuable advice on his relationship with Kylie.

About That Kiss was another winner in the Heartbreaker Bay series. I love spending time with each of the characters in the series and almost feel as if they have become my friends.

Bella Andre is back with another wonderful installment in her wonderful Morrisons series. While I fell in love with her books first with the SullivansBella Andre is back with another wonderful installment in her wonderful Morrisons series. While I fell in love with her books first with the Sullivans, I have to say I fall in love with each new story Ms. Andre writes.

Let me just say I absolutely loved Justin and Taylor's story from beginning to end. The fact they both had been in love with each other from the moment they met gave me happy sighs. The fact they each waited eight years to admit their feelings to one another absolutely had me shaking my head. I was so glad Justin's sisters stepped in and got him a reservation at Taylor's new B&B when he came home for his brother's wedding.

I loved Justin and Taylor picked up being best friends again from the moment they saw each other again. I loved their friendship was a priority between them no matter else would be going on going forward. The fact they were insanely attracted to one another and wanted to spend every minute together gave me all the feels. I also loved the chemistry between Justin and Taylor was so strong. Once they finally gave into their attraction, I loved they really couldn't stay away from one another.

I will say I was surprised Taylor was so hesitant to share her big secret with Justin initially. They were so close and I just knew he would move heaven and earth to help her in any way possible. I have to say Justin handled learning about Taylor's illness just as I expected. He wanted to figure out a cure and offered to donate one of his own kidneys when he discovers she needs a transplant to save her life. I have to say this part of the story could have become way too medical if handled differently and I absolutely loved while the seriousness was never downplayed, it never took away from the romance in the story. I also loved Justin's family members being honest about concerns with the plan yet understanding in the end how it had to be. I can't say that I wouldn't be questioning my brother if he needed to do something like this for the love of his life and I loved that bit of normalcy being shown.

Love Me Like This was another wonderful story from Bella Andre. I both laughed and cried while reading this story and have to say I adore any book that makes me feel multiple emotions while reading.

Let me just say right up front HOT SEAL Bride is one of my favorite books ever written by Lynn Raye Harris. Seriously, I read every single chance I haLet me just say right up front HOT SEAL Bride is one of my favorite books ever written by Lynn Raye Harris. Seriously, I read every single chance I had as soon as it hit my kindle. I've loved Cash "Money" McQuaid since he first appeared on the page and was so glad to see him get his story.

I think part of why I couldn't wait for Cash to meet the woman who was his match was because he gave all the other guys such a hard time when they fell in love and always said it would never happen to him. Enter Princess Antonella Rossi and all bets were off. I loved Ella from the moment she appeared on the page. She was such a dichotomy of innocence and sexiness. She has been basically kept hostage by her aunt and uncle since her parents were killed and hasn't been allowed to be around others and her education was limited to what her aunt and uncle allowed. Yet part of her education came from her aunt showing her porn to prepare her for the wedding night for her arranged marriage with the sheikh her family had basically sold her to. Luckily, when she runs away, Cash is the man to appear to help her escape from her family.

I loved Cash and Ella together pretty much from the moment they met. I really think they both started falling for one another right away, even if Ella promised she wouldn't fall for him and Cash promised he would never fall for anyone. I felt an instant connection between Cash and Ella. Yes it started out as a friendship, but it was quickly obvious how attracted they were to one another. I loved how much honor Cash had when it came to keeping his hands off Ella so she could save her virginity for her husband and adored just as much Ella driving him crazy trying to rid herself of said virginity. All I can say is when they finally got together the screen on my kindle fogged up it was so freaking hot! I knew Cash would freak out at some point about his growing feelings for Ella and he didn't disappoint me. He also made amends in a huge way. Only made me fall a little bit more in love with Cash to see him finally fall in love.

Honestly the only thing I didn't love about his book was Ella's family. Her aunt and uncle were pretty much reprehensible and I wanted to smack them around so many times for how they treated Ella and how they lied to Ella. I love the Ella instantly became family to all the HOT members on Cash's team and she finally had people in her life that cared for her.

HOT SEAL Bride is another winner in the HOT SEAL Team series. I've loved each and every book in the HOT and HOT SEAL series and drop everything to read each new installment as soon as they hit my kindle. Lynn Raye Harris has defiantly found her true voice with these stories.

Seduction on the Slopes is the second book in the Snow and Ice Games series from Tamsen Parker. I first heard about the series at the Fall in Love witSeduction on the Slopes is the second book in the Snow and Ice Games series from Tamsen Parker. I first heard about the series at the Fall in Love with New England conference when the author was talking about how she came up with the idea for the series and knew I had to read each book in the series.

Miles Parker and Crash Delaney are pretty much polar opposites when it comes to how they were raised and how they have trained in their sport. Miles came from a family where he had every advantage for training and equipment. Crash literally pieces his equipment together from the lost and found and even steal a few items at times. Miles has complete support from his family where as Crash has been on his own since he was 16. Even with all their differences, I found myself loving each of these guys so much.

I also love the banter between Miles and Crash. Miles is the veteran who is put in charge of keeping Crash in line. While initially I wondered how these two guys could ever be friends, yet alone lovers, I knew their mutual attraction would win out in the end. I had to laugh their physical relationship started to calm Crash down before interviews, yet they became much more intimate with each passing day. Seriously the heat factor between Miles and Crash was smoking hot! I totally fell for them as a couple and hated they had to compete against one another in the Snow and Ice Games. They became not only lovers but real teammates and I knew only one could come out on top in the Games.

I've been hooked on the Snow and Ice Games series from the very first book. Tamsen Parker pulls me in from the very first page and makes me not only care about the competition of the athletes, but the couples that have developed in each book so far. I'm so glad I discovered Tamsen Parker and can't wait to start reading her back list as soon as I finish all of the Snow and Ice Games books.

I have to say I adore finding new-to-me authors, especially ones with anI somehow had missed out on reading Nicole Helm until Cowboy SEAL Homecoming. I have to say I adore finding new-to-me authors, especially ones with an extensive backlist. I did think Cowboy SEAL Homecoming did start out a little bit slow, once it picked up, I couldn't put it down.

Alex and Becca are basically polar opposites, yet I really liked how they each helped the other step outside their comfort zones. Alex is list maker and planner while Becca pretty much goes with the flow and makes decisions on the fly. As Becca had been really sheltered by her mother her entire life, she was super hesitant in standing up to Alex and the other guys when they first arrived. I loved that the more time she was around Alex, the stronger and more determined Becca became. I think her hesitancy in the beginning was what made the book move slowly at first. I love a strong heroine, and Becca took a bit to find her strength and path, but once she did, she was pretty much unstoppable.

I really liked the slow build to the romance between Alex and Becca. Honestly as they were technically stepsiblings, it could have been weird, but as they had never lived together as stepsiblings, it worked for me for them to have a relationship. I liked that Becca was the one to make the first move and Alex wanted to move at a slower pace since Becca had really never dated in the past. I loved that there was a sweetness to their relationship. Yes they had great chemistry, but there was an underlying sweetness between them that made me buy their relationship so much faster. Not that their relationship was without issues, between Alex's PTSD, that he didn't believe he had, and Becca pushing him to admit to his issues, could have put an end to their relationship. I loved that the fact that Becca had pushed to have a therapist for the equine therapy portion of the ranch was a big part of the reason Alex finally had someone to take to about his issues he couldn't or wasn't ready to share with Becca.

I also liked getting a bit more insight into both Gabe and Jack as Becca spent more time with Alex's friends. I found myself wanting to know even more about them both and can't wait to get each of their stories in the next 2 books in the series.

Tempt Me is a single dad/nanny story and Carly Phillips did an absolutely perfect job with it. This sexy stand alone romance, which is part of The BacTempt Me is a single dad/nanny story and Carly Phillips did an absolutely perfect job with it. This sexy stand alone romance, which is part of The Bachelor Bad Boys series pulled me in from the very first page.

Austin was burned badly by his ex-wife and has no plans to every have another long-term relationship with anyone other than his daughter Bailey. However, he didn't plan on Mia Atwood, his daughter's nanny entering his life. I loved that both Austin and Mia pretty much were attracted to one another from the moment she started working as Bailey's nanny, yet they both always put Bailey's needs first. Books with kids can sometimes take away from the romance, but Ms. Phillips did an amazing job establishing Bailey's character without over powering the romance between Austin and Mia. In fact I think part of what helped Austin to feel more comfortable with Mia was how she always put Bailey's needs first.

I thought the slow burn to Austin and Mia being together totally fit with his past and Mia working for Austin. I don't know if it would have been as believable to me if they both didn't delay getting together. I was so glad when they finally gave into their attraction and made love. They had seriously smoking hot chemistry and it only grew stronger the more time they spent together.

I have to say I absolutely loved how protective Austin was of Mia once they got together. He always was protective of his daughter and it just showed even before Austin was willing to admit his feelings for Mia, he had already fallen hard. I loved watching this strong and complex man fall so hard for the first time in his life. I loved seeing Austin, Mia, and Bailey become a real family.

Tempt Me is another winner in the Bachelor Bad Boys series. While it can totally be read as a stand alone story, I see no reason to skip out on Rock Me first to meet all the other characters in the series.

I read and loved the first two books in the Lover's Triangle series, and couldn't wait to see Scarlet get her story. While I liked aspects of the storI read and loved the first two books in the Lover's Triangle series, and couldn't wait to see Scarlet get her story. While I liked aspects of the story, sadly it just didn't grab me as the first two books in the series did.

First of all I'll admit I did like all three of the main characters. Scarlet, Michael, and Sam were all really well developed characters and I loved the time they spent together. I totally felt the attraction between Scarlet and Michael and Scarlet and Sam. In fact the times Scarlet was with the men individually and when they were all together was freaking HOT! I so wanted them to work as a trio, but something kept bugging me about the situation. I think part of the problem I had with this story was the actual distance between where Michael and Sam lived. I didn't ever really feel like either man would change his living situation to make the trio actually work long-term.

I love suspense in a romance, but that was the other part of the story that fell flat for me. I think more so because it kept dragging on than it not being a good bit of mystery. I had figured out who was behind it long before it was revealed, even if I didn't have the correct reason. It just went on way too long and seemed to overshadow the actual romance between Scarlet, Michael, and Sam.

The Pretender is the latest book in the Games People Play series from HelenKay Dimon. Once again I was pulled into the story from the very first pageThe Pretender is the latest book in the Games People Play series from HelenKay Dimon. Once again I was pulled into the story from the very first page and taken on a sexy and wild ride.

I really do think Harrison Tate became my new favorite character in the series with The Pretender. Seriously he is not only super smart, but witty and sexy as all get out. He also wants to make sure Gabrielle doesn't take the fall for the murder of her sister when he knows she didn't do it. Harris and Gabby's basically instant connection totally worked for me. Harris really only ever trusted a select few people, so it was refreshing to how quickly he accepted and trusted Gabby.

Gabby was a bit of a mystery to me at first. While she was an incredibly strong and independent woman, I felt like there was more to her that what we saw at first. I knew she didn't kill her sister, but also knew she was keeping secrets about her sister. I loved how protective she was of her little sister and even understood her reasoning once she was honest with Harris about everything that had happened.

I loved the chemistry between Gabby and Harris. I do believe part of it was they had a pretty instant connection to one another. They just worked for me as a couple, even knowing Harris was keeping a huge secret from Gabby. I knew it was torturing him, so I guess that is why I was okay with it, as I'm usually very unhappy with characters lying to each other. I will say I completely supported Gabby's reaction upon finding out the secret and have to say she actually was way more forgiving than I would have been.

I thought the suspense portion of the story line was spot on and have to say I had the wrong person in mind as the killer early on. I love when an author keeps me guessing and HelenKay Dimon did an awesome job keeping me guessing in The Pretender. I loved that while the suspense portion of the book was always in the forefront, it never took away from the romance between Harris and Gabby. The Pretender was another winner from HelenKay Dimon and I can't wait to revisit the characters from the Games People Play series soon.

I absolutely adore him and am pretty sure I might have squealed a bit when I saw we were getting hWith The Negotiator we finally got Garrett's story. I absolutely adore him and am pretty sure I might have squealed a bit when I saw we were getting his story.

As The Negotiator is a novella length story, it is really set at a fast pace and I felt like the pacing was absolutely perfect. I felt like Lauren and Garrett had been circling around each other long enough and needed to move forward. With the reappearance of her husband, and his subsequent death, Garrett was the perfect person to help her solve the mystery.

I loved the banter and chemistry between Lauren and Garrett. I knew it would take a strong woman to make him lose his heart and Lauren is just the woman for the job. She is such a smart and strong woman who really has taken care of herself with help from no one for too long. Part of what I loved about Lauren was when she knew she was outside her abilities she had no problem asking Garrett for help.

I did figure out the real killer of her husband pretty early on, but the elements of suspense were still strong without overshadowing any of the romantic times between Lauren and Garrett. I love when a romantic suspense has such a perfect balance in the story. I highly recommend The Negotiator as well as the other books in the Games People Play series.

Love on the Tracks is the first book in the Snow & Ice Games series from Tamsen Parker and a great start to a new series. I really thought Ms. ParLove on the Tracks is the first book in the Snow & Ice Games series from Tamsen Parker and a great start to a new series. I really thought Ms. Parker did a great job setting up the Snow & Ice Games as games for serious athletes.

I really like both Rowan and Zane as individuals and as a couple. I did laugh out loud a bit when Rowan fan-girled all over Zane when she initially met him. I would love to blame such reactions on her age, and it partly is true, but I myself have felt that way meeting authors for the first time, so I totally got it. I did expect her to get over her fan-girl issues a bit sooner, but as Rowan was only 20, I gave her a pass for this one issue. Part of why I loved Rowan so much was that she knew who she was and had no problems with going after what she wanted. I love she is such a fierce competitor in luge and she has very little issue speaking her mind.

Zane is the lead singer of Licence to Game, which is the boy band he started out with 10 years ago. At 26 he is a bit more mature than Rowan, but not so much they didn't work for me. I did love that he was already thinking ahead to his next music venture even while still at the top of the game with Licence to Game. I loved that Zane and Rowen were kind of thrown together to help both their images and improve their marketing for their respective groups, yet you could tell early on they had genuine feelings for one another. They also pretty much had trouble keeping their hands off each other when they were together. I loved how passionate they were about both their careers and each other.

I really enjoyed Love on the Tracks and recommend it to anyone who enjoys fast-paced super sexy romances. I am completely hooked on this series after only the first book and can't wait to see where Tamsen Parker takes us with the rest of the books in the series.

Chasing Christmas Eve is my favorite book in the Heartbreaker Bay series to date. I'll admit I've wanted Spence to get his book since I read the veryChasing Christmas Eve is my favorite book in the Heartbreaker Bay series to date. I'll admit I've wanted Spence to get his book since I read the very first book in the series. Jill Shalvis once again pulled me into the story and made me fall in love with her characters.

Colbie Albright fits in perfectly with the entire crew in Heartbreaker Bay. She is eccentric like pretty much every other person who lives in or works near Spence's building. If Colbie was thinking she would get away from the crazy of her life by ending up in Heartbreaker Bay, she was sadly mistaken. I love how chaotic everything and everyone is in Heartbreaker Bay, and as much as Colbie said she wanted quiet, she seemed to enjoy the crazy that wasn't her family and dealing with her editor while away.

Spence and Colbie were so freaking cute together. Yes they had amazing chemistry and I loved they didn't seem to be able to keep their hands off each other, but I loved most they both enjoyed just being around the other. They both seemed to calm the other's mind down a bit in a good way. Colbie was able to focus on writing again and Spence was starting to get some answers with his drone problem.

I always find some much humor in a book by Jill Shalvis and Chasing Christmas Eve was no different. I'm pretty sure I had people at work looking at me funny for laughing out loud more than once at work while reading on my lunch break. Between Colbie eating Eddie's special brownies, Spence just being Spence, and all his friends being so very protective of him, I laughed my way through this wonderful Christmas romance.

Jill Shalvis once again delivers a winner with Chasing Christmas Eve. Not only did we finally get Spence's book, but his heroine was one who I loved every bit as much as Spence from the beginning. Add it the fact we got to spend time with pretty much everyone in the series at some point, and Chasing Christmas Eve is my new favorite Jill Shalvis book. I highly recommend this book and entire series to anyone who loves sexy, funny, and sweet romances.

I've wanted Zach's story from the very beginning, but knew we would have to wait a bit for him to be ready for more than the road. I absolutely adoredI've wanted Zach's story from the very beginning, but knew we would have to wait a bit for him to be ready for more than the road. I absolutely adored Zach and Leah's story from the moment I started reading it.

First I love that Zach and Leah had been together on Leah's 18th birthday and kept it a secret from everyone. The fact that Leah and Faith, one of Zach's sister are best friends, makes it pretty amazing that no one ever knew about their one night together. I loved that Zach and Leah still had something between them years later. It started out with a bit of a slow build initially to their attraction, but there was something between them that grabbed me. I have to say I didn't love that Leah wanted to keep their relationship a secret, but knowing Zach was leaving eventually, I understood her reasoning.

I really felt like Zach and Leah both pretty much got each other when it came to music and the more time they spent together, they clicked as a couple. I loved they had pretty hot chemistry, but honestly my favorite thing was Zach making such a big deal about Leah's birthday. I seriously pretty much fell in love with him then. Not that Zach still didn't make huge mistakes when it came to Leah and his career choices, but he also fixed those mistakes in a big way.

No Place Like You was a great addition to the Cloud Bay series. I've loved seeing the Harper kids find their happily every afters. I know it was originally set to be just a trilogy, but with the huge bombshell that was revealed at the end of the book, I'm so hoping we will get to revisit Cloud Bay in the future.

I absolTo the Duke, with Love is the second book in The Rakes of St. James series from Amelia Grey, but the very first book I've read by Amelia Grey. I absolutely adored her voice, so I'm already looking at her backlist for when I'm caught up a bit more on my TBR list.

Loretta Quick might just be one of my favorite historical characters ever. She made no apologies for her choices in life and had pretty much decided her fate was to remain at her uncle's hunting home for the rest of her life as penance for ending her engagement right as the wedding was to begin. She also will protect anyone she cares for from being forced into an arranged marriage if at all possible.

Enter the Duke of Hawksthorn...and really all of Loretta's choices were going out the window. Seriously loved the banter between these two characters. They attraction was palpable and I impatiently waited for them to be together through much of the book. In fact, my only issue with the story was how long it took for Hawk and Loretta to actually make love. I loved that Loretta continuously thought of the kisses she and Hawk shared, and Hawk wasn't really any different, as he worked to make it possible to see Loretta again as often as possible.

The romance between their siblings was a sweet romance, and it really seemed to be the polar opposite of the one between Loretta and Hawk, who had a hard time staying away from one another and keeping their hands off each other from the very beginning. I think seeing the two couples showed that both types of romances can work, though, I much preferred Loretta and Hawk's romance.

To the Duke, with Love was a very enjoyable historical romance. I really enjoyed Amelia Grey's voice and look forward to reading more books from her in the future. I highly recommend To the Duke, with Love to all readers who enjoy historical romance books.

Ms. Naigle is my go-to author for sweet and emotional romances and she delivers every single time.

I have to say that after all Sydney's ex had put her through, I loved she decided to move her daughter to Hopewell to start over. Hopewell is a small town and honestly made me think a little bit of the small town where I grew up. My favorite part of the story was the fact that Sydney felt at home again in Hopewell once she found The Book Be a was still open. I especially loved Bea who owned and ran the bookstore. Honestly, if felt a bit like the bookstore itself was a character in this story.

My heart broke for Ray Anne and how her father kept breaking promises to her over and over again. I loved that with Sydney's love and new friends in Hopewell, Ray Anne started to find her footing in their new town. I really loved that Seth, Mac's son seemed to become Ray Anne's new best friend. As she was a bit of a tomboy, it made total sense she would have a best guy friend. I also loved the fact that the kids kept pushing their parents together so they were able to spend more time together.

Both Mac and Sydney had really bad experiences with love in the past. Granted Mac's bad experience had been many years ago. I loved how patient he was with Sydney in giving her the time she needed to be ready for more than just friendship. I did love they were friends before they moved into a romantic relationship. Not that everything was completely smooth sailing for them, but I loved that Mac was willing to give Sydney the time and understanding she needed after everything she had been through with her ex.

Nancy Naigle writes emotion filled sweet romances. I've always thought her books would be perfect for the Hallmark Channel and have to reiterate that fact with Hope at Christmas. I highly recommend Hope at Christmas to romance readers who love sweet romances.

It has family, sexy men, smart women, laugh out loud humor, as well as pulling so many other emotions from me. Santa Paws is Coming to Town is the perfect Christmas gift for fans of the series.

I love getting to spend time with Daniel Kilcannon, The Dogfather himself, and he gets lots of page time in Santa Paws is Coming to Town. I love how much he still loves and misses his wife Annie, even as he tries to hide it from his family. I love that his mom, Gramma Finnie calls him out at the very beginning about his sadness and his whole family works to help him find a reason to be happy this year. I both laughed and cried reading this short story and enjoyed each and every minute of my reading. We got to reconnect with the Kilcannon kids and grandkids and even got to meet Daniel's sister and her family.

Santa Paws is Coming to Town is a heartwarming story that will grab you from the very first page. I highly recommend reading the first 3 books in the series first to better understand the dynamics of the family, and promise you will be hooked from the very first book. Santa Paws is Coming to Town is another winner from Rocki and I can't wait to re-read it over the holidays.

I love her sexy contemporary romances, but when she switchLeslie Kelly has been an auto-buy author for me from the moment I read her very first book. I love her sexy contemporary romances, but when she switched over to romantic suspense, I knew she had found her true voice. Add in the paranormal and thriller elements of her Extrasensory Agents series, and her books are golden.

I've wanted Derek's book pretty much from the moment he first appeared on the page. Each of the Extrasensory Agents have a different gift and Derek's is that he can see how people were murdered, and his talent is needed to help solve the case of missing boys at an exclusive academy in Georgia. Enter Dr. Kate Lincoln, who's brother Oliver has been missing from the same academy for six months, and Kate needs Derek's help to figure out what happened to him.

The suspense/thriller elements were very strong in Cold Image. I actually had to put it down a few time when reading late at night so I could sleep through the night. Ms. Kelly has a wonderfully twisted mind when it comes to writing suspense, and I love every moment of it. I also loved that with Cold Image, we had more romance than in some of the earlier books. The romance has always been a part of the story, but with Kate and Derek it was more prevalent. I really found myself falling for Derek and Kate as a couple. I liked the Kate seemed to get Derek in a way no one else really did.

I'll put it out there right now. I usually have the who-done-it all figured out very early on in a book. I wasn't completely right in my guess this time, but I think it is because there were so many horrible people to pick from in this book. Seriously there were really only a couple people at the academy I didn't want to be eaten by the alligators in the swampy area.

Cold Image was a wonderful addition to the Extrasensory Agents series. I've been hooked on this series since I read the very first book and impatiently await the release of each new book in this series. I highly recommend Cold Image and the entire Extrasensory Agents series to readers who love paranormal romantic suspense books with thriller elements.

A Rancher's Heart is the first book in the Heart Falls series, which is a spin-off of the Six Pack Ranch series about the Coleman clan. We first met tA Rancher's Heart is the first book in the Heart Falls series, which is a spin-off of the Six Pack Ranch series about the Coleman clan. We first met the Stone clan in Rocky Mountain Home, and I knew I wanted Caleb's story as soon as possible. I'm so glad he was the first member of the Stone clan to get his story.

Caleb has had a rough life when it comes to romance. His ex-wife honestly can only be described as a heart-less bitch in my opinion. She was absolutely horrible to their daughters and equally horrible to Caleb. Enter Tamara Coleman, who is the polar opposite of Caleb's ex-wife. She is absolutely wonderful with his girls and from the very beginning it is so apparent how much she cares about them all.

There really was a slow build up to the romance between Caleb and Tamara. Partial because he was afraid of repeating his past and partly because they both put the girls' needs above their own. I think part of the reason I loved both these characters so much was the fact that even as they wanted each other pretty much from the first moment they saw one another, they still made sure the needs of the children remained their main priority. I think if Caleb and Tamara had jumped into a relationship too fast, I wouldn't have bought into them as a couple as easily.

A Rancher's Heart was a great start to the new Heart Falls series. I found myself wanting to know more about each of the Stone clan much as I had the Coleman clan in the Six Pack Ranch series. Fans of Vivian Arend are going to be in heaven with this new series, and new readers of Ms. Arend will want to start reading her back list as soon as they finish reading A Rancher's Heart. I highly recommend A Rancher's Heart to readers of contemporary romances.
